The second trochlea is longer than the fourth, the third is not pedunculated, and there is no perforation in the groove between the third and fourth trochlea.
Because of the manner in which the patella functionates with the trochlea of the femur, comparatively little energy is required to prevent further flexion of the stifle joint.
The section passes through the middle of the groove of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone.
The trochlea is narrow; in the cat its two lips are equally prominent, while in the dog the external is a little more elevated than the internal, which on its part is a little thicker.
We know that in man the femoral trochlea is continuous behind, without interruption, with the condyles--that is to say, that each of the condyles is the continuation of one of the lips of the trochlea.
At the inferior extremity the condyle, although not large, is recognisable; for it is separated from the trochlea by a depression in form of a groove.
The trochlea is still more independent of the condyles than in the human femur; it is separated from these latter by a slight constriction.
In the human skeleton, the internal lip of the trochlea descends lower than the external; and also lower than the condyle.
Its superior extremity is moulded on the inferior extremity of the principal metacarpal, and its inferior extremity, which is smaller, presents a trochlea with which the second phalanx articulates.
We have just said that the trochlea is continuous without interruption with the condyles; this is accurate.
The internal lip of the trochleais much thicker and much more prominent than the external.
In man, the external lip of the trochlea reaches higher than the internal, and it is more prominent in front.
The internal part of this articular surface descends lower than the external; this condition resembles that found in the human being, where the inner lip of the trochlea is lower than the condyle.
The KNEE JOINT is a hinge formed by the condyles and trochlea of the femur, the patella, and the head of the tibia.
The astragalus is almost of normal shape; the trochlea is slightly prolonged anteriorly, especially on the inner side, from contact with the tibial articular surface.
The cartilage on the exposed posterior portion of the trochlea seems healthy.
In one leg, some of the fleshy fibers arising from the first metatarsal insert independently on the medial surface of the trochlea for digit II (deep to the main part of the muscle).
The flat tendon passes over the trochlea for digit III and attaches to the dorsal surface of the proximal end of the first phalanx of digit III.
The flat tendon passes over the medial surface of the trochlea for digit II and attaches to the medial surface of the proximal end of the first phalanx of digit II; the tendon is fused with the articular capsule.
The muscle attaches to the proximal end of the subarticular cartilage ventral to the trochlea for digit III.
The origin is fleshy from the mid-anterior surface of the distal part of the tarsometatarsus ending a short distance proximal to the trochlea for digit III.
The distal end or trochlea is also formed by an epiphysis and is partially divided by a groove into two convex surfaces; it articulates with the two bones of the fore-arm, the radius and ulna.
Its proximal end is expanded, forming two surfaces which articulate with the trochlea of the humerus; behind them it is drawn out into a short blunt =olecranon process=.
The head and tuberosities of the humerus ossify from one centre, the shaft from a second, and the trochlea and condyles from a third.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "trochlea" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
